The short range blaster railgun Fer-De-Lance [Elite: Dangerous]

[@Hazzmango]

Special thanks to Yamato2012 for this build, it's honestly the most fun I've had using this ship. Link to his channel for some of the best flying in Elite Dangerous: kzbin.info/door/sl8ZqNlsz4t9xCNOt3LgdQ

That FA Off flying is amazing Mango, good choice with the Tokyo Drift remix too

[@djwave28]

Still amazing to watch. How you keep it stable is just crazy.

[@Hazzmango]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@djwave28]

@@Hazzmango - Happy gaming😁. What controls are you using in this vid? I fly stick-stick and do alright, but where it comes to FA-off it is quite difficult

[@Hazzmango]

@@djwave28 This was when I was using mouse and keyboard, FA off just takes practise and its easier not using a stick and throttle

[@nihilisticpoet]

Starting from 1:49, what an absolute nut moment. Wedging yourself in between for another short-range burst. Beautiful.

[@MrDonut99]

Your flying skills are insane

[@jiddick]

Nice build and video! I imagine slapping a huge beam laser with short range and thermal vent will take care of the heat problems.

[@deaconwanderer2409]

Funny enough that’s my build today (beam w/rails) it still heats up but is a bit more manageable if u run out of HS’s

Thouroughly enjoyable to watch you work, CMDR

[@Kirkland_Drip]

How do you fly like that. You have an tutorials? Was flight assist off? Is that just the ship that can turn on a dime like that? Also hahah great video. Much wow.

[@BritishTexan707]

@@Lou_NZ_ I knew it!!!!

[@PlasmoX]

was thinking of trying a build like this with SRB rails, do you use low emissions to better handle the heat problem of the rails?

[@Hazzmango]

Ye LE plant is what I use. An Armored PP will also work

[@DanielDrake]

been thinking of doing a SRB rail build I need more practice with stick for rails though, very nice vid

[@AllinWhenPlaying]

Tested Short Range Railguns some time ago on many ships, was funniest on the Gunship from obvious reasons but totally unplayable - also, with a HOTAS I can only dream about ever getting to at least decent accuracy. Anaconda was best as a Plasma Slug platform for this for PvE for sure (unfortunately Elite NPC pilot sucks at it as he aims at centre mass with one rail but shoots all of them missing half as a result, but in serious combat PAs overshadow everything by such a margin that nothing makes sense. One could hope for a weapon balance pass at one point but who will do that? Frontier? Lol they would have to contract actual good players like Mango or maybe beg Rinzler to do it otherwise we would just end up with another nonsense.

[@MrJBARRON]

Dammit. Now I have Sean Paul stuck in my head.

Dang, yall fdl flyers make it look so effortless when you FA off. Brilliant vid and skill! Bravo!!

would 4 srb hammer be too hot? would i heat die before i killed something or would it happen after?

Don't know, they give more heat without too much extra damage

Nah not really. It just works with the power left over

[@negativejam2188]

@@Hazzmango fair enough

[@nitefallsol9584]

I feel lame for asking this but how are you drifting around like that? Are you flying throttle down but going heavy on the boosts?

[@Hazzmango]

Flight assist off, gives you much greater control on where you ship will go, allows for drifting that you see in the video.

[@WhiteWeaseI]

That was some smooth flying! How many hours you got clocked? I'm beginning my adventures in FA Off and it surely must take a lot of practice.

[@Hazzmango]

Been flying with flight assist off since about the end of 2016, so I would say maybe about 1,000 hours

[@Sirmellowman]

are you using dual sticks? how do you fly with flight assist off and circle ppl like that?

[@Hazzmango]

I use mouse and keyboard, and just practise

[@justinwineberg]

@@Hazzmango for pvp is it better to learn to use mouse and keyboard or stick with a HOTAS that I already have?

@@abdur78 There are a lot of good pvp players who use hotas, but it takes more time to learn. As for me, I am more effective with mouse and keyboard but I switched to double stick and pedals, cause it adds a lot to immersion.

Geez you're flight assist off skills are insane. From what I've gathered you're on M&K. Do you use relative mouse? I'm getting into pvp and thought being on M&K was a limiting factor.

Thanks man, and ye I do use mouse and keyboard with relative mouse. Honestly for PvP any setup can work great if you practise enough with it and customise it to your preferences

[@alexfranco2127]

I really want to get into pvp but i don't know and good key binds, what's yours flight scheme

Can someone explain to me how he can change si fast between engines AND weapons distribuition so fast? Is a keybind or something? I play on pc AND for me Is the arrows, but to do like THAT between any shot like WOW. Sorry for my english xD

[@poisenbery]

how do you get your HUD to not be permanently far out like that? I have to hold shift but i can't use my rudder anymore

[@Hazzmango]

I manually changed the field of view in a setting file somewhere, I think I set it to 70 or something. The default FoV wasn't making me happy.

[@rifleman101]

If people dont mind me asking, what happened to SDC? I'm just returning after 3 years.

[@Hazzmango]

Most of the lads have stopped playing and moved onto Star Citizen. So you'll see them mostly on spectrum and the SC discords more than the elite ones these days
